Fisher's 10 points in his last six games is his best stretch since Jan. 22-29 … of 2008 – when he notched seven points in three games while playing for the Ottawa Senators.

"Sometimes, sports you're hot and you're cold," said the soft-spoken native of Peterborough, Ontario. "I didn't get a lot of offensive production early in the season, but I felt like I was playing well."

Fisher has been unable to completely figure out why he is playing so well, but his teammates have noticed a difference in his game.

"He's around (the net)," forward Eric Nystrom said. "He's been the recipient of some good passes because he's in the right areas. He's in the slot, he's in the scoring zone, and that's how you create. You have to get in that area."

Fisher agreed with Nystrom's assessment. It's important to be around the net, and he has put more of an emphasis on doing so. Fisher has also been playing with teammates who head straight for the goalmouth, including forward Patric Hornqvist, one of the league's best operators around the net.

"I'm trying to shoot everything, and especially playing with Hornqvist, you always know he's going to be in and around the net for rebounds," Fisher said. "I think that helps create. Those guys have done a really good job. And we just found ways to get goals, and it has been fun."

Fisher has generally been a streaky player throughout his career, but he normally finishes his seasons in between 45 and 55 points with more than 20 goals. His current pace has him heading toward 22 goals and 47 points this season.

The key this time is that he hasn't let up. He has continued to play with consistency - especially at a time when the offensively challenged Predators need him. Nashville's offense was ranked 25th in the NHL heading into Wednesday's games.

"A big part of it is confidence. Things start going in and you feel confident and you want to have the puck and you want pucks in certain situations, and he has really been skating well," Nystrom said. "He's directing a lot of pucks at the net, and that's always rewarding. He has the ability to get a lot of pucks at the net because he has a great release and a good shot, and that creates a lot of stuff."
